Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in MAIDENHEAD, SL6 2BD. The property offers 23m² (248 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (17/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (95/100). The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £2878, comprising £2522 for heating, £308 for hot water, and £48 for lighting. The property produces 4.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
